AN: Before I get into things, I’ll explain what my next work is. In my Creative Writing class we were assigned to write a short story. I originally was going to share the last few paragraphs of my story, but i figured that would just ruin the story- so here is a single little paragraph of a scene that happened in my story. Please tell me what you think! does it peak your interest? (ps: It’s in the POV of Tate who is the best friend of the Main Character.)

And then before my eyes she died. I started to laugh because the thought that ran through my head was ‘the person in my way had just disappeared.’ I was frightened. I was frightened by my own cruelty and even when I clung to the thought of Yasmin, I could not make this feeling disappear. I thought something was wrong with me. I wanted so much for you to understand.

About us

This is a youth-powered social network that was started in 2003 by a group of teachers from local sites of the National Writing Project.

We merged several earlier blogging projects. We have found that there are many advantages to bringing students together in one site that lives beyond any particular class. It's easier for individual students to read and write about their own passions, to connect with other students, comment on each other's work, and create multimedia posts for each other. Further, it's been exciting for us to pool our knowledge about curriculum, connected learning, and digital literacies.

If being part of such a community makes sense to you, we invite you to join us. We welcome all youth and any teacher interested in having students publish online and participate in the give and take of a social network like Youth Voices.
